Make a boss sprite 'flash' when hit

[owen]

Hi

 

I want to make a boss sprite 'flash' when it takes a hit. I am thinking along the lines of doing something to the colour of the sprite, maybe turn it red then back again.  So maybe apply some kind of colour filter on it.

 

What I want to avoid is having to swap to a different coloured sprite and back again.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks

Maybe using tint will get the effect you want

 

sprite.tint = 0xff0000;

 

Cheers!
